I listen to a lot of this world – David Sparks, the Relay podcast network, MacStories, etc.
I have been varying levels of Apple Fanboy over the years, but even when I haven't been all-in on Apple fanaticism, I've always enjoyed listening. I think it's because they're just people who are excited about technology in the way that I was when I was a teenager, before startup and VC culture got to me.
David Sparks captures all of this so well. The guy just loves technology while being kind, unassuming, and generous while capturing enough value to make a career out of it. It's the best, and I should find more people outside of this small niche to restore my hope.
